A slanted, italic sans with smooth, round construction and clean terminals. Strokes show a noticeable but restrained thick–thin modulation, with curves that feel tensioned and slightly calligraphic in their flow. Proportions skew wide in the rounds and more compressed in some straight-sided forms, creating a subtly uneven, lively rhythm across the alphabet. The x-height reads relatively low against tall ascenders, and the overall silhouette stays crisp and uncluttered with minimal detailing.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine decks, and brand-forward typography where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis with sophistication. It can also work for packaging and poster typography, especially when a modern, dynamic slant is desired without resorting to ornate features.
The tone is polished and contemporary, with an energetic forward lean that suggests motion and confidence. Its restrained modulation and open curves give it a refined, editorial feel rather than a purely utilitarian voice. Overall it reads as sophisticated and expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary italic sans that balances clarity with expressive movement. It aims to deliver a refined, premium feel through controlled modulation, open forms, and a lively rhythm that stands out in display and short text settings.
Uppercase forms show generous curvature and open counters (notably in rounded letters), while diagonals and joins remain sharp, keeping the italic angle feeling intentional and controlled. Numerals echo the same smooth, slightly calligraphic rhythm, supporting a cohesive text color in longer passages.
